Professional organizers to host “Get Organized Pittsburgh!” event on January 12, 2017

PITTSBURGH, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) – Pittsburgh Chapter is sponsoring a Get Organized Pittsburgh event on Thursday, January 12, 2017, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.The event is an educational one, focused on helping the Pittsburgh community learn how to organize their homes, paper, photos and schedules. The membership’s organizing experts will be presenting two panel presentations, designed to address both specific as well as general organizing challenges.

“This event is designed to help people to get practical and expert tips on how to not only get organized, but gain access to valuable resources in the Pittsburgh area”, explained Jill Yesko, the Director of Marketing for the chapter. “We are hoping to highlight our members’ expertise and various skills in the areas of decluttering, time management, downsizing, hoarding, and organizing best practices for the home and office.” The cost to attend the half-day event is $15.00.

Local companies that support efforts to help individuals and families to get organized, such as MyWay Mobile Storage, Auction Your Possessions Today, and Shelf Genie will be available to provide product and service information at the event. Raffle prizes will be offered for all attendees.

The group will be collecting gently used and new coats for The Salvation Army’s ongoing coat drive in Pittsburgh. Participants can bring as many coats as desired or a monetary donation is appreciated. “January is a great time to go through those hall closets, so bring us the coats your family no longer wears – someone else could really benefit from your decluttering efforts”, Yesko added.
